Christmas Day
Christmas morning – waiting to go downstairs…
I just love Emily’s excited face in this one!
Matt was SO excited about his Candy cane with M&M’s in it. He knows Santa puts one in his stocking every year and this year he even reminded Santa about it. He got a few Star Wars figurines, crayons and a church dot to dot in his stocking but nothing compares to Christmas M&M’s.
Emily and Megan got American Girl Horses and a the big Stable to share and were pretty excited about it. These two still love getting stuff for their dolls and I’m sad that it’s almost coming to an end. These two love horses too!!
Megan with Saige’s horse. Katie sitting on her new yellow chair.
Luke and Matthew had a note from Santa telling them to go downstairs. A fun new basketball game was waiting for them. Merry Christmas to Ryan and the girls too. Everyone likes to play.
Ryan’s fun stocking stuff.
I love this sequence of MATTHEW opening up his first present. I guess Luke knows that whatever Matt gets, he’s probably going to like too. So much helping and excitement.
Emily, Megan and Luke giving Mike a Christmas poster. Mike got us a Scott Kelby month subscription, a 7 wonders Expansion and parachute guys for Luke and Matt. He spoiled us.
Coloring books from Megan to Luke and Matt.
A new scarf from Grandma and Grandpa
Hobbit Posters from Katie to Ryan. He was very excited. He also got a Hobbit shirt from Emily. It was a Hobbit Christmas for Ryan!!
Star Wars guys for Matt. Megan picked out and spent her own money on a BYU puzzle for Dad.
A new watch from Grandpa.
A Canvas Word Art to Grandpa and Grandma – from Dan and Sarah. They loved it!
One of Saige’s outfits to Megan from Katie. Obviously, she was thrilled. So cute.
Because of some cute little bird crafts Katie bought in France, she kind of has a thing for birds now. A birdhouse to match her chair!
To Brian, From Lisa and Amy… Settlers and the Expansion
A remote controlled helicopter from Grandma to Grandpa. The very same thing he got for Ryan. Grandma pulled off a good surprise. Ryan and Grandpa spend the afternoon flying their helicopters around the house.
Finally, a BYU sweatshirt for Mom… from us. A cute grey scarf to me from Brian. Thanks – I love it!
Emily Windsnap books from Ryan to Megan. I love her cute surprised and excited face. Megan got Ryan an iTunes gift card so he could buy the Hobbit 2 Movie Soundtrack.
The Rainbow Loom from G&G to Megan – maybe her favorite present of the day. Cute ‘Choose Happy’ craft from Lindsey to me! Love it!
And a cute framed J from Amy to me!! Love it. And one of Emily’s favorite presents: a pack of origami paper from Chris and I. Emily also loved her ‘Series of Unfortunate Events’ books 10 and 11 from G&G. Anytime she wasn’t opening a present she was reading!! She got to chapter 6 before we were done with presents! She also got a cute grey dress, an AG outfit and ski pants!
Megan wanted a picture of her fun stuff. So many great things from everyone. She and the rest of the kids are loving the Just Dance 4. New shoes and sweatshirt for Basketball.
The boys things… all their siblings went in together to buy them a ‘retired’ GeoTrax tower for their collection. Lots of planes stuff, soccer stuff to get ready for Spring soccer and remote controlled cars from G&G. Fun day!!
Katie’s fun stuff… clothes, décor for her room, books and shoes. What more could a girl want? Katie’s gift to Megan – an outfit for Saige.
I got a new iMac (which I’m thrilled about!!) a crepe maker, new running shoes and pantry organizers. Chris got the latest Dominion expansion, dress pants, dress shirts and sweaters, a Carl Bloch book, another Apple TV and a mini Bose WiFi speaker. Fun day. After cleaning up we played and played, at a leftover Christmas Dinner and played some more. So much fun to give presents to everyone. Watching the siblings give to each other was so much fun!!
